Mohamad Irani

Dr. Irani is very personable and truest cares for his patients. He made sure we understood and were comfortable with each step of our journey. He was patient and understanding and let us express and validated all of our concerns along the way.

Give him a chance. He is new to the practice but really knows what he’s doing and cares for his patients.

I did my 3rd egg retrieval with Dr Irani in hopes it would result more positively than my previous clinic. When it didn’t, he took the time to sit down with us and explain all of our options again. He was thorough and companionate. He comforted us when we were upset and called to check on us after the fact. We proceeded with donor eggs and were successful on the first round. I am so thankful for everything he has done for us!

Ashely was amazing! She really takes the time to bond with the patients that work with her and was an amazing help throughout the process!

Everyone we had the pleasure of working with was great. The donor process was simple and so well taken care of, that I felt confident from the start. A few nurses at the Gurnee office smoked which bothered me during appointment bc it smelled but nothing else to complain about!

We paid about $15k for donor expenses. My insurance covered most of the other procedures

Dr. Irani is very compassionate and easy to talk with. He has always taken his time with us and we have never felt like he was rushing to see another patient. We truly felt like we were the only patients there. We have found it to be very easy to communicate with him and ask him any questions in person or via email. We feel confident that we will become parents with Dr. Irani’s help.

Have all of your medical records sent over before your consultation appointment. We did this and felt he truly took the time to be thorough and look everything over before coming up with a plan for us.

When my husband and I met with Dr. Irani for a second opinion, he was a breath of fresh air! His confidence renewed our hope in having a family, after our first IVF cycle failed with another clinic. Dr. Irani is very intelligent, yet warm and humble. We felt very comfortable talking with him and it was clear that he had read through our chart and tailored a plan just for us. The plan he shared with us for our next IVF attempt made complete sense given our situation. His confidence gave us hope again.

We are starting our next cycle with Dr. Irani in May. All of the medications are different from my first cycle with another clinic. This time I will be doing the Shoyer protocol with Lupron, Follistim, HCG, HGH and several oral medications.

Diane is amazing! She is very compassionate and straight forward with information. She is organized and completely on top of your care. It has been such a change from my last clinic where I had several different nurses contacting me with different information. Diane has answered all of my emails and phone calls within an hour of me reaching out to her. She has told me from the beginning that she will never leave for the day with out calling me back and she has stuck to her word.

The clinic is definitely smaller than most but I think that’s a good thing. You truly don’t feel like just a number here. At my previous clinic it was just a revolving door and no one remembered your face. At AFCC, you are treated like a human and not rushed.

We have currently spent about $500 on appointments and $5200 on medications for our next cycle with Dr. Irani. We had all of our diagnostic testing and genetic testing done before transferring care to Dr. Irani. Monitoring, retrieval and embryo transfer will happen next month with Dr. Irani.

We will most likely only transfer one embryo due to my low egg count but Dr. Irani said if there were two of equal quality then he would transfer both instead of freezing just the one.

Dr. Irani made me feel welcomed and understood from the moment I sat down in his office. He even went over our scheduled time together and answered every single question I threw his way. After being severely misinformed by my original RE, I had a giant list of clarifications that I was desperate for answers about. He listened attentively to each concern that I had without judgment or ridicule. I never felt demeaned or belittled like I was asking a "stupid" or unnecessary question. He provided me with not only an answer to each concern, but scientific backing to each answer. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I needed to hear. I was tired of long winded half answers, and he made sure to articulate everything in laments terms as well as provided risks and rewards for each option I had. He set everything straight for me and not only laid out a treatment plan for me, but told me he was confident he would get me pregnant without issue. As a self pay patient, one of my main concerns was cost so he even tailored a plan to exhaust the most affordable options first. Although I am still early in my journey with him, I feel at home and am confident that I will find success under Dr. Irani's thoughtful and straightforward care.

Come prepared with questions! Do not be shy or fearful that you will be bothering him. He is incredibly thorough and provides plenty for you on his own, but he is patient and kindhearted and will make sure that you are just as comfortable with the entire process as he is.

After a year long battle with my original fertility clinic to even SEE a doctor, I was extremely tentative about seeing another doctor, fearful of the same thing happening again. Dr. Irani made me feel welcomed and understood from the moment I sat down in his office. He even went over our scheduled time together and answered every single question I threw his way.

I am 29 and my husband is 32. We have been trying to conceive for almost 3 years now. My husbands semen analysis came back with a barely low count, just a point below "average" but nothing that Dr. Irani was concerned about due to all other aspects being normal with high volume. Every test came back normal for me. My cycles are spot on 27-28 days long. I ovulate late in CD 10 or early CD 11 every month without fail. My follicle count, estrogen, AMH, progesterone... everything came back within normal or above normal range at the right time in my cycle. My saline infusion came back normal with no reported tube blockages. Dr. Irani said that he was absolutely confident that he would be successful with IVF due to my age and regularity. Since we are self pay, we also had the option to skip IUI and move directly to IVF if we wanted (since we did not have insurance requirements to start with the smaller treatment). Since our diagnosis was generally unexplained with the only thing coming up as a barely low count from my husband, Dr. Irani was also confident that we were excellent candidates to achieve a success with IUI if we wanted to start with the most cost effective option. I stared Clomid on my first cycle (CD 3-7) and went in for my first monitoring appointment on CD 10. I measured with 2 mature follicles and my LH had already naturally risen, so we immediately did the trigger shot and scheduled my IUI for the next day. I returned on CD 18 for my progesterone test that came back at 29. I returned on CD 26 for my beta which came back negative and started my period the next day. We are moving right back in to another round of IUI and plan to attempt 3 rounds before considering IVF.

Ashley is beyond amazing! She is the only nurse in the Crystal Lake location so she is sometimes away from her desk, but she will call you back IMMEDIATELY after she gets back to see the message. She is patient with me no matter how many questions I ask about process or next steps. She is so compassionate and wonderful at "breaking the bad news" to you in a way that doesn't feel like the scripted responses you get from other clinics. When she told me about my negative beta result, I could feel her heartache for me from miles away. Then she proceeded to talk me through potential next steps and advise me on my options. I couldn't ask for a better nurse!

Since my initial meeting, every question I have had has been promptly and thoroughly handled by Dr. Irani and the Crystal Lake staff. The office is small, but their success rates speak for themselves. I have had to work with members of the Gurnee and Chicago office staff as well and they have always been kind, attentive and punctual with all requests that I have submitted.

I do not recall how much the initial consult and preliminary diagnostic tests cost, however they offer an IUI package that includes all monitoring for $1,100.

We have not fully discussed IVF/embryo transfer options yet.

He explained the fet procedure fully. I was confident with his skills. He also spent time with us earlier discussing our remaining embryos and whether we should pgs test them. He was extremely knowledgeable.

Ask anything, he is really welcoming of questions.

He is straight forward but warm. He remembers details of my life (I have a son, my husband is military, etc)

I was just doing an FET (we had 8 embryos from a previous donor egg cycle). My protocol was pill, then stopped pill and started estrogen patches and baby aspirin and prenatal, monitored via ultra sound in the 3 weeks prior to fet date. My lining was fine but estrogen a bit low so needed to add vaginal estrogen. The pio started 6 days prior to fet at night and antibiotics and medrol.

I was an out of town patient and the nursing staff was amazing! I always knew exactly what was going on, they were completely responsive. It was great!

They are great with out of town patients though I wish you got a discount on your cycles since I have to pay for monitoring out of pocket elsewhere. If I was local, that would all be covered in the cost of the cycle.

FET 4000 + medications and for me I had additional of our town monitoring costs
